Staedtler 925-25 Silver Series Drafting Pencil - 0.3 mm

Wow! Beautiful to look at and ultra-comfortable to write with. No time wasted searching for a comfortable grip. You're ready to go when you pick it up. I think the short 2nd step on the nose coupled with a no-slip grip that's neither too wide or thin lend to the high level of comfort, and whether I hold it high on the grip for drawing lines or low, close to the tip for writing meticulously small which I do often, it always feels one with the hand. It's balanced weight also helps and the all aluminum finish gives it class and durability. 2 thumbs up!

The Staedtler 925-25-03 is my second favorite for its comfort and precision (my favorite is the Rotring 600). The width is ideal, and the weight is balanced. However, the cap tends to rattle when I'm writing small characters quickly (perhaps I'm pushing hard under pressure, but this isn't a problem I have with the Rotring). Nevertheless, I can see the Staedtler 925 being chosen above the Rotring and viceversa. They are both wonderful pencils.

A gem. I really enjoy using it.

Durable and one of the greatest pencils I have ever used.

These pencils are great. I love that they complement the 2mm in the set. My only complaint is that they do not have the large range of lead grades to select like the 2mm.
